Built with the same form factor as the iPad mini 4, but up to three time more processing power, the 7.9″ iPad mini from Apple has been upgraded with the A12 Bionic chip with Neural Engine, a 7.9″ Retina display with True Tone, and Apple Pencil support, so you can sketch and jot down ideas as they come to you. This iPad mini is just 0.24″ thin, weighs 0.66 pounds, can store up to 256GB of data, and comes in a space gray finish.
The tablet’s 7.9″ Retina Display features a native resolution of 2048 x 1536, showing over 3 million pixels at 326 ppi. It also features support for the P3 wide color gamut, an anti-reflective coating with 1.8% reflectivity, 500 cd/m2 brightness, and True Tone, which dynamically adjusts white balance for more natural looking images. The Retina Display’s capacitive touchscreen lets you utilize all the multi-touch gestures of iOS.
The mini is driven by Apple’s 64-bit A12 Bionic processor with Neural Engine, which allows it to use real-time machine learning to recognize patterns, make predictions, and learn from experience. All of this lets you run apps like Adobe Photoshop CC, experience augmented reality, or play games with immersive graphics.
Accompanied by the A12 chip is the M12 motion coprocessor, which measures the motion of the iPad via the accelerometer, three-axis gyroscope, and compass, lightening the load of the A12 Bionic chip and freeing it up to process multiple tasks while enabling it to maintain fast performance. The iPad mini may have the Retina Display, but it still manages to maintain its 10-hour battery life. That’s because the A12 chip isn’t just more powerful; it’s also more efficient.
The iPad mini comes with iOS and Touch ID. Designed for the iPad, iOS features News, enhanced multitasking, a shortcut bar, editing tools, updated multi-touch gestures, and more. Touch ID uses your fingerprint to unlock your device as well as make secure purchases in iTunes, iBooks, the App Store, and more via Apple Pay.
Thanks to Wi-Fi 5 (802.11ac) and Bluetooth 5.0, the iPad mini can connect to your network and integrate with iCloud, so you can sync your iPad mini to your other iOS devices and Mac computers. Push photos, download apps, and continue from where you left off in iBooks with iCloud. iCloud also offers cloud storage so you can back up your contacts, photos, and important documents to Apple’s cloud servers. You can also restore your iPad mini to a previous state using iCloud.
This iPad comes preloaded with iOS. Please check your device settings for the latest available update.

iPad mini was just what I needed. Very robust, responsive device.

The iPad mini has an impossibly thin, light form factor. Screen quality is exceptional, and performance is snappy. For content consumption at home or on the go, this is a great device.

Another great apple product

I went from a regular iPad to the mini so it would be more portable and I don’t regret it. There’s a little sacrifice of screen size, but it’s worth it. If you need to do a lot of typing on the screen I’d recommend the full size one, but for my use, this one is perfect.

It was Christmas present for me and I’m very happy. I had good experience with B&H. Fast delivery. Thank you

Just right – big enough to see stuff but fits in one hand or pocket

This is a great alternative to DJI controller for flying a drone. With a sun hood it is bright enough to use in sunny conditions. Still not as bright as the DJI screens but I’ve had a good experience using it. And there’s also the added bonus of it being a tablet. Would highly recommend if on the fence.

I use this in place of a phone, and for me it’s just about perfect. I like that it still has a headphone jack, and I hate the idea of face id. With IpadOS, 256gb and up-to-date internals, it’s 10x the device my Mini 2 was.

I needed a light and portable way to showcase my work when I’m meeting with potential clients and this ipad definitely does the trick! Super easy to use and allows me to customize apps, etc. Great purchase.

Old iPad was a 1st generation and sorely needed an update. This has more memory a faster processor and a sharper screen.

I replaced an earlier Ipad mini – having cpu overload issues – DJI was taking almost all the memory to keep flying and I would have issues with freezes and lags..

8 year old iPad quit working. Upgraded from 32 to this 256. Lots of improvements and memory! Shop B&H first.

B & H Photo had the best price on the iPad we purchased and also delivered it quickly and in good condition.

IPadOS is a huge upgrade for the ipads. Adds some great new software features. The ability to use the Pencil 1 or the Logitech Crayon with the mini is epic for note taking or sketching. The device itself is light but sturdy. Screen is bright and the battery is great. Love it. Anyone who needs a tablet and thinks the regular iPad is too big should definitely go with a mini. Its rock solid and a great device to use.

I replaced my former iPad mini. I am a big fan of the size; this is my third mini. This one is speedy and works great. I have the pencil, but haven’t played with it much yet, but it seems like a great addition.
